Photography - Industrial digital imaging

Northlight provide a range of industrial photography services as part of our commercial photography.

We cover promotional, industrial, advertising and catalogue work for web and print use.

Our photos cover all aspects of your organisation, from documenting manufacturing processes, through to products and your people.

If you need the services of a commercial photographer in Leicester / Leicestershire please feel free to give us a call.

Any UK location

Although based in Leicester, we work throughout the East and West Midlands with our commercial photographic services.

For our larger clients we work at their sites throughout the UK.

Our images are always supplied to meet your needs, whether for web or print use. Photographs come with all our expertise in colour management and high quality reproduction.

Industry experience

In the past, Keith Cooper has worked as an electronics engineer, a geophysicist, and written code for process automation systems.

That means you have a photographer who can understand what your machinery actually does, and how your manufacturing processes run.

If you say you want a picture of a particular component, then at least we probably know what way up it goes...

Improve your own photography

We can even teach your own company staff to improve the quality of your own in-house photography.

Photography Training

Product examples:
Coil winding and Taping Equipment

Specialised coil taping equipment from Ridgway Machines of Leicester.

The taping machine is winding the light coloured tape on a large coil.

Note the intentional blur of the rotating machinery.

Our industrial photography can help explain how your machines work.

We are happy to produce work to fit a preexisting manual or training guide.

Photographs can be lit and processed suitably to enhance different areas and features of equipment.

All our image processing and manipulation experience is available to our clients.

We aim to produce images that are both informative and eye-catching, for product brochures, display stands and web use.

Very large prints

We can provide exhibition quality prints of images up to A0 size on archival paper.

For display stands, images can be supplied, appropriately sized for banner printing.

Extra high resolution image captures are available if needed. For some of our architectural clients, individual image sizes have exceeded 4 Gigabytes.

Unusual angles

Northlight has a large collection of specialist camera equipment that we use to create unique views, often in quite cramped and difficult to reach spaces.

The image to the right is a large autoclave (note the person standing inside at the back).

The photo was taken only a few feet from the opening, but has retained the correct cylindrical shape.

Creative Images

Machinery and metalwork - your pictures don't have to be dull and boring.

We can provide you with a large collection of images that will get noticed and can illustrate important parts of your products or business activities.

Detail of Aluminium casting and fixings for outdoor seating.

What we provide you...

Images are supplied in whatever digital format you require. This could be as JPEGs or 'print ready' at 300dpi and whatever size you need, in either tiff or Photoshop PSD formats.

We can produce CD based 'web galleries' of your images and will quote for any additional image enhancement or processing work that you may require.

When can you work?

We can sometimes fit in work at only a few days notice, especially in the Leicestershire and East Midlands region.

If your factory or location is only available at specific times then we are available for out of hours work, such as more 'artistic' night time views for brochures and reports.

Our aim is to accommodate your requirements and provide commercial photography that fits in with your plans.

We are also fine art printers and can supply large exhibition quality prints, ideal for lobbies, meeting areas and board rooms.

How much does all this cost?

We will always provide written quotations and agree costs in advance.

We have a general guide to our commercial photography prices available.

Please give us a call if you would like to discuss a project or get a firmer estimate.
